(Microbotryomycetes, Basidiomycota) is described on the basis of a strain (NRRL Y-48849) isolated from wine grapes (Vitis vinifera) in Washington state (USA). The taxonomic position of the strain was determined through analysis of the ITS region and the D1/D2 domains of the LSU rRNA gene. Physiological and morphological data also are presented. A basidial state was not observed. Key words: anamorphic yeast, enology, Pacific Northwest fungi, viticulture, wine microbiology, yeast systematics, yeast taxonomy 2 Bourret et al. Curvibasidium rogersii. North American Fungi 7(12): 1-8 Introduction: During a survey of yeasts Carbon assimilation tests were performed with 5- occurring on wine grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) in ml of liquid media in polypropylene 17 x 100 mm central Washington state (USA), a strain was test tubes, using 36 carbon sources. Nitrogen isolated that could not be assigned to any assimilation tests of nitrate, L-lysine and described species. Phylogenetic analysis of D1/D2 cadaverine were carried out on agar cultures and large subunit (LSU) and ITS region of nuclear in liquid media. Additional tests of 25 and 30 °C, ribosomal DNA (rDNA) indicated that the strain 0.01% w/v cycloheximide and 10% w/v NaCl is a member of the Curvibasidium clade of class were performed in 5 ml of liquid media. The Microbotryomycetes (Basidiomycota: following strains from the USDA ARS Culture Pucciniomycotina). Herein the fungus is Collection (NRRL) (Peoria, IL, USA) were used to described as a new species of Curvibasidium. calibrate the tests (equivalent CBS strain This paper describes morphological and designations are also listed): Candida oleophila physiological characteristics of this species and (type strain), NRRL Y-2317T = CBS 2219T; results of phylogenetic analyses of the D1/D2 and Candida oleophila, NRRL Y-1880 = CBS 2220; ITS regions.

Both the D- and Extension Center (IAREC) near Prosser, glucose assimilation and 25 °C growth tests were Benton County, Washington state, USA. Berries conducted without negative controls. All were chilled on ice until they were macerated. physiology tests were performed in triplicate, and Macerate was streaked onto Wallerstein Labs results were confirmed at least once. nutrient agar (WLNA) (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, DNA was extracted using a “FastDNA® Spin Kit” USA) supplemented with 100 mg/L streptomycin (MP Biomedicals, LLC, Solon, OH, USA) sulfate (Sigma-Aldrich Co.

The isolation plate was incubated at 20 – PCR to amplify ITS and D1-D3 LSU regions were 22 °C for 5-7 days before culture purification on conducted using the following primer potato dextrose agar (PDA) (BD, Franklin Lakes, combinations ITS1 NJ, USA).

PCR products were bootstrap scores. The scale for the ML tree is visualized using a 1.4% agarose gel and cleaned substitutions per site. Trees were visualized and using ExoSAP-IT (Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, rooted using the program FigTree CA, USA). Products were sequenced using PCR (http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/figtree/) and primers by ELIM Biopharm (Hayward, CA, USA). annotated using GIMP®. Sequencing was performed with ABI 3730 (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) sequencers Results: The D1/D2 sequence of NRRL Y- using dye terminator methods. Chromatograms 48849 differed by 6 bp from the type strain of the resulting from sequencing reactions were most closely-related species, C. cygneicollum. analyzed using the Chromaseq 1.0 plugin to ITS sequences from NRRL Y-48849 and the type Mesquite 2.75 (Maddison and Maddison, 2011a; strain of C. cygneicollum differed by 8 bp. In Maddison and Maddison, 2011b), using the phylogenetic analyses (Figs. 2, 3), NRRL Y-48849 programs phred 0.071220.c (Green and Ewing, is well separated from all other members of the 2002) and phrap 1.090518 (Green, 2009) to call Curvibasidium clade which includes several bases, assemble contigs, and assess quality. The species currently classified as Rhodotorula. resulting sequence was deposited in GenBank These results suggest strongly that NRRL Y- (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/) under 48849 represents a distinct, previously the accession JX188232. undescribed species. Physiological tests can be used to separate this species from other members An alignment consisting of both ITS and D1/D2 of the Curvibasidium clade, but the differences sequences from type strains of the are few and may be unreliable with inclusion of Curvibasidium clade was assembled using results additional strains of each species. Consequently, from Sampaio (2011a). Separate ITS and D1/D2 recognition of this species should be based on alignments were constructed from sequences diagnostic gene sequences. In view of the related to NRRL Y-48849 that were identified nucleotide divergence observed between NRRL from BLAST searches of GenBank (Altschul, Y-48849 and other members of the 1990). The ITS sequence used for the type strain Curvibasidium clade, the following new species is of Leucosporidium fasciculatum, CBS 8786T was described. obtained from the CBS database. The type strain of Rhodotorula ingeniosa was included in all alignments and used to root all resulting trees. Curvibasidium rogersii Tyler B.
